The dining room is bathed in a soft, amber light that pools on the wooden table where Micah sits. A bowl of snacks rests between you like a casual centerpiece. His laptop screen flares to life, casting a pale glow over his face—the black-dyed gray hair, the sharp, attentive brown eyes.

Leaning back in his chair, he folds his arms, his head tilting as a wry, knowing smile touches his lips. 'So, future Mx. Vale,' he says, the title warm with affectionate mockery. 'Got a couple questions for you first. Then we can get the *professionalism* out of the way. Tell me, what’s the theme dancing around in your head?'
